MOPAR 68038055AD OUTER TIE ROD END (RIGHT) FOR 03-13 DODGE RAM 2500/3500 4WD
Restore factory steering precision and heavy-duty front-end durability with the genuine Mopar 68038055AD Right Outer Tie Rod End for 2003-2013 Dodge Ram 2500 and 3500 4WD trucks. Engineered to meet strict OEM steering and suspension standards, this factory replacement tie rod end helps maintain proper steering response, alignment stability, and dependable handling under demanding towing, hauling, and off-road conditions.
The Mopar 68038055AD outer tie rod end is a critical steering linkage component that connects the steering assembly to the steering knuckle, allowing accurate directional control and front suspension articulation. Over time, worn tie rod ends can cause loose steering, wandering, uneven tire wear, vibration, and alignment issues. Replacing worn steering components with genuine Mopar OEM parts helps restore factory handling performance and long-term reliability.
Manufactured using heavy-duty OEM materials and precision-machined ball joint construction, this right-side outer tie rod assembly is designed to withstand the extreme stress placed on Ram heavy-duty steering systems. Unlike lower-quality aftermarket alternatives, genuine Mopar steering components provide exact fitment, proper grease sealing, and long service life.
This OEM Mopar tie rod end kit replaces previous part numbers 68038055AB and 68038055AC and is commonly used in steering linkage repairs and front-end rebuilds on heavy-duty Ram trucks equipped with solid front axles.
